I will when I get home this evening. I've been down
this road on the list before with no relief. I've been
too busy doing some other stuff to go on a "I've got
to make this 2.4.x kernel work" type binge, especially
since my 2.2.x kernel is working nicely. I did however
provide quite a few details on one of my attempts. In
fact here is the message in the archives:
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2001/debian-user-200110/msg00635.html
I have since tried with a 2.4.10 and 2.4.12 kernel
with the same results, and then I had problems with
modules as well on the 2.4.12. But like I said, I will
try again tonight and give more details. BTW, these
problems were with the stock debian kernel packages. I
haven't even tried to compile 2.4.x for myself yet
using the traditional methods or the debian way.
